Hindu God Brahma is one of the Trimurtis – Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh
(Shiva) – in Hindu tradition. He discharges the function of creation and
therefore is known as the creator. Brahma was the first to appear from the
Supreme Truth. Symbolically this is represented by Him appearing from the navel
of Vishnu.

Brahma appeared from a lotus stem emerging from the navel of
Vishnu. He was then assigned the task of creation.

Brahma had self doubt. He found himself not capable to this
gigantic task.

The Supreme Truth instilled confidence in Brahma by asking
Him to practice austerities. He then achieved the confidence and skill for
creation.

Brahma has four faces and is seated on a lotus with the
Vedas and a rosary in His hands. His vehicle is the Swan.
